Shortlisted candidates Teacher Awards 2022 announced
Utrecht University has awarded the so-called Teacher Awards since 1994, to encourage academic lecturers to continuously improve their teaching and to show them appreciation. The Teacher Awards consist of the Teacher Talent Award, for academic lecturers who have recently started, and the Outstanding Teacher Award, for those lecturers with upwards of five years’ teaching experience. Every year, study associations in Utrecht can nominate a lecturer for these prizes and this year, no fewer than 34 have been nominated.
The jury, comprising of Utrecht lecturers and students, has shortlisted three nominees for the Outstanding Teacher Award and three nominees for the Teaching Talent Award from the submitted lecturers. Criteria include the educational vision of the lecturer, the creation of student interaction and the students’ learning experience.
The shortlist:
Teacher Talent Award:

Outstanding Teacher award:
